I just wanted to watch a video, with someone having fun with an ellipse, then all of a sudden I'm questioning my own existence, and wondering if I live in parallel universe.
Always get chills watching this. We live in a reality based in deep mathematical truths and getting a glimpse of them just feels so enlightening, even if you don't completely understand what's going on...
I'm in 4th year and I have 0 idea what this is but it looks very beautiful little did I know that math can create such mesmerizing art just from numbers, this video changed my whole perspective on mathematics and made me learned to love it, truly amazing!
If you draw the lines from the foci to any point on the ellipse, the normal at that point is at an equal angle to both lines. So a ray from one focus is reflected towards the other. Likewise a ray outside one focus is always reflected outside the other one, same for inside.
what is this emotion?
"I just wanted to have some fun with an ellipse, then all of a sudden the rest of the conic sections showed up"
I love how there seem to be these "resonant" reflection points
This is gonna be up there with "How to turn a sphere inside out" and those sorting algorithm vids some day
What odd corner of youtube have i stumbled into now?
Why get high when you can get UA-cam
"I was just cutting an ice cream cone and all of a sudden I was into a trance of mathematical beauties"
YOU DIDNT FIND MORE CURSED MUSIC IN YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT?

Looks like I've watched a deep secret about reality I wasn't supposed to
what the fuck I just wanted to see some geometry and ended up having a spiritual experience

I really love the music in this one.

Any Mother game's ending in a nutshell
Man, the way that this music brings meaning to something totally mundane is incredible. Whoever this gpcbass guy it, he's talented.
